The Girlfriend Game

She's the assist I needed when life sent me to the sidelines.

My life is spiraling out of control. 

One minute I'm hustling down the court in a final playoff game, the next I'm blacking out in front of a packed arena— not to mention on LIVE television. 

An anxiety attack, that's what the doctors called it. I'm calling it the end of my basketball career. There's no way I can go back out there, after freezing in fear, letting the whole team down and showing the fans I'm weak. 

The GM insists I see a sports psychotherapist to get help with what's going on inside my head— but it turns out I catch feelings for Kendall Rush and it messes with my heart. 

Now I have to learn to play a new game— the girlfriend game.

I've been treating high-profile clients for years. Mental health doesn't discriminate. Famous athletes, entertainers, politicians…you name it, they need my unique brand of tough love therapy. 

Using "The Rush Method" – I get my clients to share their deepest, darkest fears to overcome their crisis. Basketball superstar Zeke Forester is no exception to the rule… but the way I felt about him might break a few.

I just hope neither of us foul out of this game we've started playing— or worse lose the game altogether.
